Mike. I am so sorry to hear about your wife. Just heard this morning at a local barber shop. Always enjoyed our conversations about our families especially the accomplishments of your children. Know how proud you are of them. I hope someday I can express my thoughts to you in person. Until then, may God Bless you and your family...
